Sony announces its Sony Xperia Tablet Z

A couple of weeks ago, Sony introduced the flagship Sony Xperia Z handset. Now, Sony turns its attention to the tablet world with the Sony Xperia Tablet Z. The slate has a 10.1 inch screen with resolution of 1920 x 1200 and the Mobile BRAVIA Engine 2. In comparison, the Google Nexus 10 has a 10.05 inch screen with resolution of 2560 x 1600 and a pixel density of 300ppi. The new Sony tablet is powered by a quad-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro, which is probably the APQ8064.

The Sony Xperia Tablet Z offers an 8.1MP camera on back and the Sony S-Force sound is said to bring "a sense of spaciousness". The device supports NFC, has LTE connectivity, a microSD port and comes with Android 4.1 out of the box. Like the Sony Xperia Z, the tablet is both water and dust proof.

Pricing and availability were not revealed. What was announced was the 6.9mm slim profile of the tablet, which weighs in at 495 grams (17.5 ounces).

Technically, the Google Nexus 10 does have a screen size of 10.05, but we were just rounding it off. Seeing as that would take the pixel density under 300 and keep you up at night, we changed it for you. No tipping necessary.

Yeah, it's 6000 mAh, way smaller than the N 10's 9000 mAh. (http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/20/sony-xperia-ta​blet-z/)
I don't understand the thinness war on tablets anyways. I don't want my tablet to feel like it's going to break in half, especially when I know I could be getting more battery life were it thicker.

That's if you equate a MicroSD slot to battery life. For the record, I'd take a full-size SD slot (and full size USB 3.0 slots, for that matter), which they could've more easily done had the tablet been thicker.

I think he means in terms of performance, not build quality or appearance.

I'd take the sleek edges and glass build of the Xperia over the plastic, clumsy-looking roundish shape of the Nexus 10, but the Nexus 10 has A) a better screen, B) a better battery, and C) stock Android, which make for a better-designed user experience, in my opinion (and apparently MeoCao's), than quality building materials do.

Sony hasn't done well selling anything lately. Their CEO has blamed it on lack of brand unity, hence his "One Sony" project. I honestly can't say why, though, they make pretty good products. I just bought a touchscreen Vaio notebook a couple weeks ago and I love it.

Now you're talking, Sony.
This is probably the best tablet in the world now, imo.
It spells class and quality.
Waterproof at 6.9m and under 500 grams!
Full hd screen with snapdragon pro should offer super smooth combination.
Nexus 10 has that ultra hd screen, yeah, but it is also buggy and not optimized and lacks in the memory expansion USB functionality.

Sony struggles. Only Samsung is able to amaze with its innovations. Design is important, but even more vital characteristic is its productivity and software. Try note 10.1 by Samsung. This tablet its miles ahead. Sony is all about its design. Sammy's goal is not only design, but also the technical superiority on every level from software to hardware. And Sammy is doing well.
